Update:
Here's Kaede brightening up my walk to class <3
I'll update with outdoor pictures soon haha

i used the solo tickets from the anniversary lottery to try for halloween uzuki. there were a lot. didn’t get her (ofc) but i got nina??? i was so shook i forgot to screenshot again lmao. and i got aiko’s lim sr from the halloween set too! so i’m really not gonna complain ^^;

i did the new thing where you’re guaranteed a lim ssr in a paid 10 pull (really happy with how many lims they’re just selling these days, btw. i hope they keep that up)
i forgot to screenshot it but i got this miho!!
![miho](https://i.cinderella.pro/u/c/art_hd/a/100173SSR-Kohinata-Miho-Youthful-Romance.png)
honestly i feel like this one is underrated. she’s actually super cute, i love it!!

Well after 2 months of saying "fuck you" to Mirishita I have decided to redownload it for the sheer fact that I love Matsuri more than I love the Deresute girls.
For context, 2 months ago I spent 2 weeks tiering in 3 events nearly all at the same time. It was the 1st anniversary event for Mirishita which offered exclusive badges for your best girls, Minami's most recent event, and Reiji Kotobuki's first event on the UtaPri WW server. I successfully tier 1'd both Minami & Reiji's events, then got in the top 1k (I think I was around 700) for Matsuri, which is what was needed for her black & gold badge (the top 100 got a black & rainbow badge). I was so excited for it because I hadn't been able to get her 25k fans badge yet, so I spent ALL my stamina potions on her (I had literally everything maxed out in my inventory). Then 4 hours before the event ended, I went to sleep. It was the last spurt I needed to finish all my events in my desired placements and I had already stayed up until 8-9am for Minami's event, so I just.... needed rest. Especially since my wrist was really hurting. Then I woke up, waited 12 hours - PRETTY CONFIDENTLY - and bam. I missed her by about 100 places.
I'm ranting, I'm sorry. I know this is a Deresute site but I need to let out some steam because I don't really have any close [email protected] friends to really rant to that would fully understand my pain. I mean, I have one and I love her but... I'm just UGH. It was especially frustrating because I had been playing Mirishita since the day it launched and was waiting as patiently as possible for Matsuri's first ssr, then when she came out I spent 17.5k gems on her and got ZERO ssr's, whereas every time I pulled before that I had AMAZING luck with pulling ssr's. Like... Matsuri??? Babe???
Also side note? Gameplay wise, Deresute is my favorite but character wise it's my least favorite... And the reverse is also true for MStage... Like...... IMAS COME ON :((
Anyways sorry for my dumb rant, I don't necessarily care if anyone reads it. I just needed to put my full thoughts into one place. But if anyone did read this... PLEASE WISH ME LUCK WITH MIRISHITA AGAIN, I LOVE MATSURI TOKUGAWA SO MUCH...

## FAQ
**What if it isn’t summer where I live?**
Hey mate, you are free to do winter instead, and will be able to enter the "Summertime Sweetheart" category just like the other summer pictures. We just want you to capture the essence of your current season!
**I don't feel like taking summer-themed photos, can I just take normal photos of my merch?**
Yes. It will not qualify for the "Summertime Sweetheart" category, but you still have a chance to win in the other categories!
**Do I need a good camera and good photography skills?**
Any camera will do. If the quality ends up not being so good, you won't be able to win the "Picture Perfect Idol" category, but you can still use your creativity and take your chance to win in the other categories!
**What if I don't have a lot of merch?**
You don’t need “a lot” to do well in this contest! Even one item is fine. It might not get you to win the "SUPER OSHI" category, but we care about quality over quantity, so get creative, and see what summer-themed things you can create, or show off your photography skills!
**What if I don't have any merch, at all?**
Get creative, create your own! Printed characters work too! (As long as you use official images, your own art, or fan-art with the artist's consent + credit)
**Do I have to use official merch only, or fan-made are allowed?**
Fan-made merch are allowed, but we insist that you should do your best to find the artist and link to their store. Of course, you are also allowed to use your own merch.
**Can I re-use old photos?**
Yes, but they need to match the theme and you need to take them yourself. We might ask you for proof or retakes if we can't say for sure that you took them, and we may eliminate you if we find out you didn't.
**I am not able to give you my address, can I still participate and get a prize?**
We will be able to give you a digital prize instead, so feel free to join.
**Most BanG Dream! characters are not idols, and Pokémon are not idols, can I still enter with a BanG Dream! / Pokémon themed photo?**
Yes! We are aware that not all of them are idols, but we use this word because it's an easy shortcut.
**Do I need to specify which category I'm entering?**
You don't need to specify which categories you're entering.
**Can I photoshop or edit my photos to add decoration, stickers, etc.?**
You may add decorations, stickers, or do any kind of post-processing if you'd like. However, for the "Summertime Sweetheart" category, we will only take into account summer-themed decorations that are in the actual photo.
**Can I include people in the photo?**
Yes, you can include whatever you want in the photo as long as it's aligned with the general rules for activities and it contains some merch of any kind.
**Any other question?**
Reply in the comments section and we will do our best to help you.
